IND vs AUS 5th T20I
Australia won the toss and chose to field in the series’ final match. Despite consistent wicket-taking by the Australian bowlers, a half-century from Shreyas Iyer (53 off 37) and valuable contributions from Axar Patel (31 off 21) and Jitesh Sharma (24 off 16) ensured the home team reached a competitive total of 160/8, with Ben Dwarshuis being the standout bowler with figures of 2/30.
Australia’s run chase started well, but India made a comeback by taking wickets at regular intervals. The spinners, led by Axar Patel, played a crucial role in India gaining control. Ravi Bishnoi (2/29) took important wickets, while Axar Patel was economical and claimed the crucial wicket of Tim David, finishing with figures of 1/14.
Requiring 10 runs in the last over, Australia’s chances seemed promising, especially with the way Matthew Wade was batting. Nonetheless, Arshdeep Singh remained composed, conceding only three runs in the final over as the Men in Blue secured a 4-1 victory in the India vs Australia T20I series.
